Ethereum’s proof-of-stake is highly anticipated in the community, as researchers favor fast-tracking the upgrade.
Vitalik Buterin says it only requires one honest miner for the merge to Ethereum 2.0.
An Ethereum researcher says he is confident that Ethereum could ship the merge in 2021.
Ethereum 2.0 may be coming sooner than expected as the community is heavily in favor of fast-tracking the upgrade.
The merge requires at least one honest miner
Vitalik Buterin, a co-founder of Ethereum, has recently released a “quick merge via fork choice change,” which would allow Ethereum to abandon mining operations soon.
The merge refers to Serenity from Phase 1.5 to Ethereum 2.0, marking the network’s move to proof-of-stake. In the current Ethereum 2.0 roadmap, Phase 1 is scheduled to launch next, which includes sharding, which would increase its efficiency as 64 new chains will be added to the network.
